None of this mattered to the majority of people posting on this topic before DPW had the temerity to make this bid. In fact, it just strengthens my point that people immediately began rushing around trying to find every bit of dirt they could about the UAE. If no company based in a country with poor human rigths was allowed to operate in the US, then a huge number of companies would be barred. More importantly, no American company would be allowed to do business on foreign soil based on what has happened in Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib.
